For most teams, the spring game is a chance to impress recruits for the upcoming class for the first time. Jefferson City lineman Travis Ruth committed to Missouri earlier this year and attended the Black and Gold scrimmage to get to know his future team better. The 6-foot-2 Ruth liked what he saw while in Columbia.

After the game, Ruth said he was talking with his brother, Missouri LB John Ruth, when a few of his future teammates introduced themselves. He added that the conversation stayed pretty positive.
